    Hidden Treasure
    It is said, there is gold hidden in Daniel Keane's farm, in Moygue. There is a big circle in the field and it is said there are two mason work pots like the pots of a kiln in it. Some men tried to open it by night to get the gold. I do not know their names and it is said a red bull hunted them. The bull was not alive. The reason the bull is there is because the man that put the gold there killed a man and told him to mind the gold for ever. The murdered man became the bull.
